Bracket

Updated: 10/30/2017 by Computer Hope

Sometimes referred to as square brackets, a bracket is a punctuation mark typically found in pairs. There are two types of brackets: the open bracket ( [ ) and the closed bracket ( ] ). The open bracket has an open end towards the right, and the closed bracket has an open end towards the left. Brackets are the two keys found to the right of the P key on a US QWERTY keyboard.
